Billionaire's Reborn Baby -
Chapter 306 Sydnee
The lady boss also felt that they ordered too many dishes. Although she would earn more money if the customers ordered as many dishes as possible, she didn't want the food to be wasted. However, when she saw the policeman's uniform, she did not dare to say a word. She just returned to the kitchen to cook the dishes with the boss.
"What do you usually do?" Before the dishes were served, the policeman tried to engage Sydnee in conversation, hoping to know her better.
"Me?" Sydnee thought about it seriously. She usually went to Tea Manor to check the progress of the decoration, or to school, or to the pharmacy.
After thinking for a long time, she felt she really had nothing to say, so she smiled, "I'm boring. I don't have any hobbies."
The policeman continued to ask, "What do you like? Watching movies? Going to the concert? Do you like shooting? Swimming? Mountaineering? Cycling?" Sydnee shook her head. She liked none of it.
The policeman looked a little depressed, but then he got excited again. "Do you like reading?"
Sydnee was embarrassed. She seldom read books expect when she had to review for exams. Recently, what she had been reading was only account books and receipts for expenses. If she had to say something about her hobby, it would be to calculate the expenditure and income.
Eliot kept silent. When he saw Sydnee's embarrassed expression, it occurred to him that she was indeed not good at communicating. Perhaps she could talk freely about what she was familiar with. Once she was asked something she wasn't familiar with, she would not know how to reply.
Now, her head was getting lower and lower. It seemed that she was meditating on what decent interests and preferences she had. However, she couldn't come up with a single one. Just as she was about to tell a lie, she heard Eliot say to her, "I left something in the car. Help me get it."
Sydnee heaved a sigh of relief, "OK."
With that, she ran away quickly.
The policeman also noticed Sydnee's embarrassment. After Sydnee left for a while, he asked Eliot, "Am I in a hurry?"
Eliot didn't want to answer such a question, but he answered because Sydnee had done a lot for him and she was his friend, so he couldn't just sit by.
He replied, "If you are just messing around, please keep away from her."
"What?" The policeman was stunned for a moment. He was sitting opposite the door while Eliot's back was facing the door. Eliot didn't see Sydnee walk in again. Just now when Sydnee walked out of the restaurant, she remembered that Eliot didn't tell her what he had left. So she came back to ask.
As soon as she walked over, she heard Eliot's gentle and firm voice, "She needs a man who truly loves her and respects her. She doesn't need an adventurous love. With your job, you are destined to not give her much sense of security. So please don't chase after her."
The policeman got a little angry, but when he looked up and saw Sydnee standing there, he suppressed his anger and retorted, "Who knows exactly about love? What if she likes me?"
"Impossible," Eliot replied in a resolute tone.
"Why is that?" the policeman asked.
'Because she likes me.'
Of course Eliot couldn't tell it to the man in front of him. He just said, "She won't like you. Give up."
The policeman didn't say anything else.
Just as the lady boss served, Sydnee pretended to have just entered and then sat beside Eliot. All of them were silent. Sydnee thought to herself, 'What's going on?'
Eliot saw her return, but didn't ask her whether she got his things or not. At this moment, Sydnee suddenly realized that just now Eliot sensed her embarrassment, so he deliberately asked her to go out. But she turned around and came back, hearing those words....
The lady boss served the dishes and soon the table was full of delicious food.
Everyone thought that they would have to pack up the dishes one by one after eating but in fact, it was the opposite. The policeman ate quickly while Eliot ate slowly. In the end, they had eaten all the dishes on the table.
When the lady boss came out and saw the table, she thought that they had poured the leftovers into the garbage bin. She searched through several garbage bins, but Sydnee told her, "We ate all. Can we have the check, please?"
The lady boss swallowed, wondering if they had just been released from the prison.
Of course, she only thought about it. She didn't dare to make a joke as she saw the policeman's uniform. The policeman took out his wallet and wanted to pay the bill, but was stopped by Sydnee. "Hey. I said I would pay. What're you doing?"
Sydnee handed the money to the lady boss, "Just keep the change."
The lady boss counted the money and found Sydnee only paid two extra.
Why did she use such a tone with only two extra? The lady boss still didn't dare to joke, as there was a uniformed policeman standing beside her. She was only a commoner, and she just laughed and said to them, "Thank you. Bye."
Sydnee already contacted the agent. After she sent the policeman to an intersection, she drove to the neighborhood in the city center.
Just now as they came out of the restaurant, the policeman didn't ask Sydnee any more strange questions. Sydnee heaved a sigh of relief and couldn't help but look at Eliot in the rearview mirror. Eliot frowned, with his head down. Sydnee did not know what he was thinking.
Sydnee and Eliot looked around the house and Eliot was very satisfied with it. He handed over 1, 000 to the agent and the landlord. After that, he signed the contract and took the key. Sydnee waved goodbye to him without worry.
After closing the door, Eliot threw himself into the sofa and took out his phone. Only then did he realize that his cable had been stolen and his phone had run of battery.
He took the key and went out to buy a charging cable. When he arrived downstairs, he discovered that the landlord was standing in front of Sydnee, talking. And he saw Sydnee took out some money and handed it to the landlord.
"Thank you. My brother has much pride. I hope you won't spill the beans. Please help him as much as you can when he needs help. Also, I hope you can give him some fruits at every festival. Just tell him it's a gift from a friend and that you can't eat it all."
Eliot was hiding in a bush. He heard Sydnee's voice as gentle as how she was. She was like a warm spring breeze, striking a deep chord in his heart.
Eliot stood at the side of the bush for a long time. Only when Sydnee and the agent left did he slowly walked away to help digest. He lowered his head and saw the scarf on his neck. It was light gray and furry, very warm. It carried her faint fragrance of tea. Although it was not strong, it came in through his nose and reached his heart.
Sydnee liked him so much. What should he do to pay back?
Sydnee, who was driving, suddenly sneezed twice. At the red light, she called Emily and said, "I've got everything set up for your brother." "Thank you."
"We're close friends. Your brother is my brother," laughed Sydnee.
"You can be my sister-in-law." Emily rarely joked, and there was her sincerity in these words.
Sydnee imagined the scene and shook her head. "No, I'd better be single. Men are too scary."
She still couldn't forget the pain brought by Marquise and her blind date, Rey. It was hard to understand others, let alone a man's heart.
Emily changed the topic and said to Sydnee, "Take care of my brother, please."
"Sure." Sydnee did not know what would happen in the future. If she had known, she would have said no. However, nobody knew what would happen in the future.☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
